Pendulum Exercise for Use with Shoulder Repair Surgeries

Stretching exercises for your shoulder, such as the pendulum exercise, can improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce pain. Your healthcare provider or physical therapist has recommended the pendulum exercise to help speed your recovery. Remember to breathe normally when you exercise and try to use smooth, fluid movements.

Doing the pendulum exercise

Follow any special instructions you were given. If you feel pain, stop the exercise. If the pain continues after stopping, call your healthcare provider or physical therapist.
